I didn't take a photo--wasn't thinking of it.

One of the eggs from my PB clutch pipped last night. The head looked a bit odd, but I didn't think too much of it you know? I went in this morning and the head was still just out. I figured the animal was probably dead, but cut it out to be sure.

The head was domed, snout shortened, and the body was tied in a knot. The insides were in a sack hanging from the vent.

Is there any way to reduce the odds of stuff like that happening? Or is it just something that occurs sometimes?

At least my cribo got a very pretty meal I guess.
